The race proved to be one of the most dramatic in years and was stopped twice plus an extraordinary series of events between the F1 title rivals.

The British star won despite CRASHING into the back of Verstappen.

However, the most shocking incident occurred when Verstappen was ordered to hand the lead to Hamilton.

That was due to him holding on to it by forcing the seven-time champion off the track.

Red Bull were told to hand the lead to Hamilton and Verstappen slowed to do so on the run to the last corner, but the Merc driver ran straight into the back of him, causing damage to his front wing.

Mercedes chief Wolff watched on furiously before standing up and throwing his headset down in rage.

Hamilton was then heard saying over the radio: “He just brake tested me!

“That’s dangerous driving.”

The incident, which will be investigated by the stewards after the race, could see Verstappen wind up in more trouble.

The race continued with Verstappen still in the lead until he finally handed it over  six laps later.

That enabled Hamilton to win, with the two drivers now tied on points heading into the last race of the season.

Hamilton said afterwards: “That was incredibly tough and I tried to be as tough and sensible as I could out there.

“I didn’t quite understand why he suddenly hit the brakes quite heavily and then I ran into the back of him. Then he moved on and I didn’t quite understand what was happening.

“Then I got a message afterwards that he was going to let me pass so it was a bit bemusing.”
